London Meets Durban As Moses Boyd And DJ Lag Collide On "Drumming"


November 29, 2018

Few could have predicted a collaboration between jazz man of the moment Moses Boyd and gqom king DJ Lag, but the results work so perfectly you'll be left wondering why it hadn't happened before.

The star of the show, as you might expect from the title, are the drums. Powerful and thundering, "Drumming" cleverly marries Boyd's jazz sensibilities with the eardrum-shattering rhythms that put Durban and gqom on the map.

Shot and directed by Chris Saunders, the video has a cinematic flair with a look that should remind you of iconic drumming film Whiplash with its red lighting and dramatic, claustrophobic feeling.

We can only hope this isn't the last time the pair work together. A joint album would be very, very welcome indeed.
